Keep Right On finally got his head in front when scoring over track and trip but has had 16 starts and BLUE FLAME is less exposed. The latter opened his account with a victory at Newcastle last month and there looks more to come in handicaps. Always Dreaming has yet to win but went close at Wolverhampton recently while Capla Spirit’s latest placed effort came over 6f here and he’s yet to race over this far. Nefarious slips further down the weights after a better effort at Kempton last time.
